Michael Jackson, Resurrected
Michael Jackson appeared in hologram form in the recent Billboard Music Awards ceremony.
(Michael Jackson hologram)
Michael Jackson was resurrected from the dead in hologram form, singing and doing his famous moonwalk in front of a star-studded Las Vegas audience.Jackson performed his new hit “Slave to the Rhythm” off his posthumous album “Xscape” — which debuted last week at No. 1 in 50 countries.
In a show-stopping act produced by the Estate of Michael Jackson and broadcast on ABC, the “Thriller” singer appeared on stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to wild cheers and more than a few tears.
Fans of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine find this kind of performance unremarkable, recalling the 1999 episode "7x15 : Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang", in which a holoprogram called Vic Fontaine interacted with living human performers onstage.
(From "7x15 : Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
